Meanwhile, far-right extremist briefly protested outside the French
Embassy on Saturday, defying a ban on the rally by Prague authorities,
AP reports. The National Party said it had planned the "protest against
black violence" and what it called "racial terror in France." Prague's
City Hall this week banned the demonstration, saying its aim would be
to incite racial hatred as its organizers had voiced opposition to
violence "committed by immigrants of non-French origin, mainly from
Africa" when announcing the event. Roughly a dozen party members
gathered in defiance of the ban, and briefly displayed banners that
read "Islam in Europe leads to terrorism in the streets" and "Black
racism" before they left. Party leader Jan Skacel said they were
opposed to immigration because immigrants were unable to assimilate and
their foreign cultures were a source of conflicts. France has been
plagued by two weeks of unrest mainly in poor suburbs, marked by
nightly car torchings and clashes between gangs of youths and police.
